Something happened at a Liberty Movement gathering in Franktown Tuesday night that should worry John Hickenlooper: Tom Tancredo wowed the room. Let's set the stage: Months ago, Tancredo was still a Republican, and many within the Liberty Movement were hankering to create a third party. Tancredo argued that bucking the Grand Old Party's nominees would be "suicidal." The L...

I,m voting for Tom, and i,ll campaign for him He wants tough immigration enforcement, and so do i. Jobs for Americans, Instead of illegal aliens from Mexico, helps Colorado in many ways.like money being paid in to pay roll taxes.Mandatory E Verify equals self deportation which creats jobs,less burden on schools, medical, free breakfast and lunch, every thing in school printed in Spanish and English ect. All will save Billions.

I think we all know "...exactly what Tom Tancredo stands for and exactly what he will do". His support of the "deadly 3" amendments indicates that he would use the Colorado Springs example of budget management; just shut everything down. We'll get low taxes and NO services. The streets will be dark and you'd better pay your private firefighting premiums, or your house might burn.Of course, Tom will also protect us from illegal immigrants, Muslims, gays and pregnant women. You can count on him to push a money-wasting version of Arizona's 1070 on our state and redirect law enforcement to harass cooks and janitors. If Florida "a third-world country" and "bombing Mecca" is the best way to deal with Islam, just think of the positive light Governor Tancredo will shine on Colorado.

You mean he will take the control out of the hands of corrupt politicians and put it back in the hands of the citizens. This is suppose to be a representative form of government, and maybe it time we make those "representatives" aware of that fact.

"Corrupt politicians". another catchy sound bite from the right . Just who are these terrible corrupt politicians. ? Or are they just another way of demonizing anyone you don't like by making up a generic smear name.

90 people in Franktown told Tom T that he's the man. From that the Post extrapolates fear in the hearts of Hickenlooper's campaign. Let's wait for the survey data on this, which may not be as exciting. What is interesting is how Tom's campaign boss reads the existing polls. One could say that the mayor can't get over the 50 percent barrier. One also could say that in a year when the GOP was supposed to walk all over the Dems that the GOP's inability to do the same to the mayor says something about their candidates. Another question: how do you poll independents?

Not to throw rain on this parade. But Tom went out to rural Colordao and preached to the choir and won them over. Pretty sure that wasn't too hard to do. One lady was even going to get two yard signs. So everyone driving by Franktown, Elizabeth and even Kiowa and see them. Tom's problem is that everyone in the State knows exactly where he stands on the issues and the majority of citizens do not agree with him at all.

Anyone who has been in office longer than one term has become corrupted by their sheer presence in that office. It is what has corrupted our political system. The very first thing an elected official does after being elected is start to focus on what programs and who's palms needs to be greased in order to win their next election. The benefit and welfare of the citizens become a second thought, and that has been proven time and time again.

Yea! And then roving bands of Republican zombies will fill the streets looking for children of Democrats to feast on!

Please vote for Tancredo. He doesn't have a chance in heck of winning, but all you righties go on ahead and vote for him any way. I look forward to seeing the Repugnants at the bottom of the list where they belong.

Tancredo is a self-appointed egotist and a spoiler. He'll throw anyone under the bus, just as he has done to that poor, old, shrewd vixen; and just has he's done to the liberty movement. He wants to legalize drugs, and what else? Does anyone know?

Tom Tancredo was a hit with a bunch of Tea Partiers? Moreso than John Hickenlooper? Thanks for the blinding flash of the obvious, Plunkett. Feel free to notify me when you come up with another scoop like "Meat Eaters Prefer Expensive Steak to Bean Curd" or "Beaches Popular Vacation Destinations".

Would that be the same as Freeloaders support Hick?

Tom Tancredo served five terms in Congress. By your definition, that makes him a corrupt politician. Why, then, do you expect that "he will take the control out of the hands of corrupt politicians"?

DP:Tuesday night, many of those angry, betrayed people filled the Pikes Peak Grange hall and fired questions at Tancerdo for 45 minutes. By the time he left, he had mesmerized them..

The problem has been that people have formed an opinion of Tom via media reports that discredit him. When people actually hear what Tom has to say, their opinions change and they respect him.

One should let Tom speak and hear-him-out before assuming the bias opinion of the media and his opponents.

A student from the University of North Carolina, who comes from a leftist family and her followers, led a violent disruption of Tancredo's scheduled talk, there, and silenced him. This shouldn't be allowed to happen in this country. In contrast, and to the credit of CU, many conservative coloradoans and students at the University of Colorado didn't approve of Bill Ayers speaking on the CU campus, but they graciously allowed him to speak in spite of their opposing political views
